Remember the time the Epstein Files revealed Epstein & Peter Thiel were a part of the group who organised Brexit & how it was actually a targeted attack on the UK & NATO?

Any minute now the media will be all over that!

They might even ask Farage what he knows since he's mentioned over 40 times.

There’s a reason privacy advocates are fond of Sen. Ron Wyden, and its not just because he routinely champions legislation aimed at protecting civil liberties. From his perch on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Wyden is uniquely well situated to spot intelligence programs that strain the limits of the law or unduly encroach on Americans’ privacy. And while Wyden takes his obligation not to reveal classified information seriously, he has a history of doing all he can to draw public attention to those potential problem areas. Long before Edward Snowden revealed the NSA’s now-defunct mass database of domestic telephone records, Wyden was sounding the alarm about a secret and radical interpretation of the Patriot Act’s “business records” provision. Most notoriously, at a public hearing in 2013, he pressed then–Director of National Intelligence James Clapper on whether NSA collected any type of data on Americans in bulk—and received the now-infamous answer “not wittingly,” which seriously weakened Clapper’s credibility when it was revealed to be false just a few months later.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?

Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.

And they almost shot some kids in the process.

They just blindly shot through the fucking door.

The real problem with Epstein and Mandelson is it shows how fundamentally corrupt and broken our system is. One person's network reached its corrupt tendrils far and wide because lib democracy is anything but democratic. It lauds money and the people who have it and does little else.

Epstein encouraging someone named Bob to do "piece on transgender in the bio world" in February 2016.

Looking more and more like the "biological" framework fascists and terfs use had its genesis around this time at Epstein's behest.

Great care was taken to black out all the names of the important people who are going to get off with a slap on the wrist at best - the victims though; they get to be traumatised (again) by the worst people the internet and the scum tabloids have to offer.

I think it’s obvious that the Me Too movement and the trial of Harvey Weinstein sparked an extreme McCarthyist response from a billionaire class that moved to buy and exert influence over media and democratic institutions, and I think that this manifested in several quite clear ways in Britain.

There have been some critiques of the movie. People have said that it was essentially a payoff from Amazon to the White House, and that you’re doing propaganda for an authoritarian President. I know you said you don’t want to get into politics, but what do you think of that critique? Well, you know, I felt like I was a reporter. I see. You see what I mean? Sure. It’s, like, would you do an interview with Melania or President Trump yourself? Probably yes. It doesn’t mean that you think the same way or that you approve of him doing what he’s doing. You and I are two journalists talking, essentially. Yeah. So, I mean, to me, the experience was about, yes, being a reporter—being a cinematographer in a documentary, and doing my best to make Melania look visually beautiful with the lighting. One thing reporters try to do is to spotlight ideas or news stories, and what you’re trying to do is spotlight her face and its beauty. I do see a real similarity there.
